Rozhanitsa (12 Century East Slavs, Russia) In 12th century Russia, the eastern Slavs worshiped the winter mother goddess, Rozhnitsa, offering her honey, bread and cheese. Bright colored winter embroideries depicting the antlered goddess were made in her honor and white, deer-shaped cookies were given as lucky gifts. Some Russian women continued the observation of these traditions into the 20th century.

According to some sources, this goddess replaced the original Slavic goddess of winter which was Morana, Marzanna, Mortzana, Mora, Marena.
Здесь показывают высокотехнологичные структуры которые противоречат тому чему нас учили в школах про наших предков. Эти структуры не могли быть построены примитивной цивилизацией имеющий низкий уровень развития. Он говорит что натуральные каньоны являются следы добычи полезных ископаемых которые добывали в древние времена, и то что натуральные каньоны на самом деле являются древние карьеры. Я обсуждала это два года назад, но только сегодня вижу что люди начинают про это говорить

I’ve always been fascinated by this topic about underground tunnels, and subterranean passages.
The title of this says “25 most brutal torture techniques in history” but I know through my own research that these torture techniques are connected to medieval church. These torture techniques are so horrific, that they don’t even show them in our modern horror films. The church used this on those they deemed as heretics, pagans, and just about anyone who disobeyed the church and would not conform. How can the same religious institution that used this horror on people preach of love? Check how those Christian/Catholic/Orthodox/Abrahamic priests, those people of god tortured their poor victims. Modern Christians will respond to this saying this was in the past, that this the medieval church. They’ll say that in modern time the Church is different. I would tell them no, no it’s not different. It’s the same church hierarchy, the same religion. From its very start over a 1000 years ago to today it’s the same religion, the same church. The brutal, bloody, mass murderous beginning of the church is the foundation of modern church. They can’t get rid of their bloody history! Modern Christians can’t just divide the history of the church into different parts, because it’s all a continuation of the same church. Modern church may have cleaned up its brutal ways a bit, and stopped doing their dirt publicly, but they continue to do the same behind closed doors.

When I explore modern official sources, looking for available information on any mythological creature, or any of the pagan gods, folkloric being, etc..., I cannot help but be suspicious of whatever information that “they” made available for the public.

Most people in our circles don’t even need to ask why, why would those in charge of official records/information be tampering with this information, because most of us already know exactly why this would be done.

Throughout the years I found that there are more than one reason for tampering with our history, tampering with the truth. There are multiple reasons why they do it, and have been doing it for centuries if not longer. And none of those reasons benefit us the people.

In the past, people were blind, and naive. We just blindly assumed that ALL official information is automatically correct, it’s automatically true, and accurate. We assumed that since the information got a stamp of approval and accepted as official information, then this means this information was based on scientific study, and this information has already been verified by a team of experts and specialists, and that there is no more need for us to do any kind of verifying or checking because it’s already been done for us.

In the past people blindly accepted official information, but when it came to any of the alternative information, people automatically viewed it with suspicion, and we felt the need to verify it. People just recently started to feel suspicious of official information sources.

Now finally people are waking up, and they are beginning to apply critical thinking, discernment, healthy scepticism to any source of information that they encounter be it official or alternative. People are starting to think for themselves, and rely on their intuition.

Today people everywhere are questioning everything, from religion, to history, to official scientific theories, government system, media, healthcare system, food industry, etc.... I don’t know, maybe this has something to do with the fact that we are now entering the age of Aquarius, which is said to be the age of revealing.

Now, I want to come back to what I was originally discussing in the beginning of this post. I was discussing the available information that we can find in official sources on any particular pagan god, goddess, mythological being, folkloric creature, etc...

My personal way of doing this, is that although I do use official sources, I definitely don’t trust them to deliver the truth. They are not totally useless though. Throughout my journey, I learned that official sources do not give you 100% lies. I found that they give you truth mixed with lies, or semi-truths mixed with lies.

Either way, there is a degree of truth in official sources, and if you’re clever enough, intelligent enough, wise enough, experienced & skilled enough, you can extract it. You’ll be able to weed out what you can use, and throw away the rest.

So my advice to anyone who is researching any particular mythological being, any pagan god or goddess, definitely do not buy the story that the official sources are selling you. Take the official information, and just throw it on a shelf, leave it there, and continue searching on your own. Whatever the god/goddess, or mythological being that you’re researching, go to the indigenous culture that it belongs to. Go to the source. Listen to what the natives of that land have to say about this particular god/goddess or mythological being or whatever it is that you’re exploring. You’ll usually find a living folklore & folk traditions of that indigenous culture still alive even today.

This is where you’ll most likely to find true answers. That’s where you’ll hear the people say things like “my great grandma told me this”, or “this is what is known here among our people”. That’s where the oral tradition still lives on, and people still pass the ancient knowledge through folk tales, songs, dances, folk art, symbolism/embroidery, etc...
It may even be, that the information on a particular pagan god/goddess that comes from the organic original source, which is the indigenous people themselves and their ancient knowledge that was passed down through the oral tradition, will not match the information on the same pagan god/goddess that you get from official/academic sources
